B eloved brothers and sisters in Christ, welcome to Son-rise Service 2017. Let us focus our eyes on God, meditate on his goodness to us and on what Jesus has done.

With these words, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." (Luke 22:42), our Lord Jesus thrust himself fully into his loving Father’s hands. Hours later, he was crucified and died an excruciating death on the cross for our sins. His disciples all scattered and one even denied him three times. However, the greatest miracle that happened after Jesus’ death, was his resurrection, which we commemorate today. No other faiths or religions can ever claim their founder to have resurrected to eternal life, ex-cept Jesus. This is the reason why we gather and celebrate.

As we worship on the beach this morning and watch the sun rise, “Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth." (Hosea 6:3)

Not only has the Son risen, soon, He will return. Alex Lo, Chairman, BFEC

2. In Christ Alone CCLI Song # 3350395 Keith Getty | Stuart Townend © 2001 Thankyou Music CCLI License # 273958

Verse 1

In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light my strength my song This Cornerstone this solid Ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love what depths of peace When fears are stilled when strivings cease My Comforter my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand

Verse 2

In Christ alone who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save

Till on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live

Verse 3

There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory Sin's curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ

Verse 4

No guilt in life no fear in death This is the power of Christ in me From life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand Till He returns or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

2.在基督里

【V1】

在基督里 我得盼望

他是亮光 力量诗歌

这房角石 坚固磐石

不怕干旱 凶猛风暴

无比慈爱 何等平安

惧怕消逝 战争平息

我的安慰 我的一切

因主的爱 我得站立

【V2】

唯有基督 道成肉身

完全的神 成为人子

带来公义 恩典礼物

他来拯救 却被弃绝

直到耶稣 十架受死

神的愤怒 得以停息

所有罪孽 他全承担

因主受死 我得生命

【V3】

他的身体 在洞穴里

世上之光 在黑暗里

直到那日 荣耀清晨

从坟墓里 他又复活

当他胜过 罪恶权势

死亡毒勾 不再害我

我属于他 他属于我

因主宝血 我得救赎

【V4】

胜过罪恶 不惧死亡

基督大能 今护庇我

从我诞生 直到离世

我的生命 在主手里

没有邪恶 或是权谋

能使我们 与神隔绝

直到主来 或归天家

因主大能 我得站立

Key Verse: Matthew 7:13, 14 13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that

leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and nar-

row the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

If it depends on you or me, we cannot go through the narrow gate for we are

not perfect.

Jesus said in John 10:9

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go

out, and find pasture.

Jesus who said that he is the gate also says in John 4:14

but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I

give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

John 7:37-39 :

Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying,

"If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. "He who believes in Me, as

the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" But

this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for

the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Responsive Reading #1 Worship Leader: When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so they could go and anoint Him. Worshippers: Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they went to the tomb at sunrise. They were say-ing to one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance to the tomb for us?” WL: Looking up, they observed that the stone—which was very large—had been rolled away. When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; they were amazed and alarmed. Worshippers: “Don’t be alarmed,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has been resurrected! He is not here! See the place where they put Him. WL: But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see Him there just as He told you.’” Worshippers: So they went out and started running from the tomb, because trembling and astonishment over-whelmed them. And they said nothing to anyone, since they were afraid. (Mark 16:1-8)

说：谁给我们把石头从墓门辊开呢？

（主席）那石头原来很大，他们抬头

一看，却见石头已经辊开了。他们进

了坟墓，看见一个少年人坐在右边，

穿着白袍，就甚惊恐。

（会众）那少年人对他们说：不要惊

恐！你们寻找那钉十字架的拿撒勒人

耶稣，他已经复活了，不在这里。请

看安放他的地方。

（主席）你们可以去告诉他的门徒和

彼得，说：他在你们以先往加利利

去。在那里你们要见他，正如他从前

所告诉你们的。

（会众）他们就出来，从坟墓那里逃

跑，又发抖又惊奇，什么也不告诉

人，因为他们害怕。

Blessings from scripture: Proverbs 3:3-6 (NIV): Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Amen.

Responsive Reading #2 Worship Leader: As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take and eat it; this is My body.” Worshippers: Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He gave it to them and said, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood that establishes the covenant; it is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins. WL: “But I tell you, from this moment I will not drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it in a new way in My Father’s kingdom with you.” After singing psalms, they went out to the Mount of Olives. (Matthew 26:26-30)

你们拿着吃，这是我的身体；

我立约的血，为多人流出来，使罪得

赦。

的聪明，

在你一切所行的事上都要认定他，

他必指引你的路。

Testimony of Geraldine Yeo I wanted to follow Jesus as young as 8

years old but my grandma discouraged

me. Reluctantly, I obeyed.

I grew up, met Bernard in secondary

school and in 1980, we got married. In 1988, I joined

him at our hair salon business and we grew the busi-

ness together. Deep down I felt there was something

missing in my life. Bernard, meanwhile, had unpleas-

ant encounters with Christians who couldn't give him

satisfactory answers to his many questions. The an-

grier he got with them, the more they made him feel

condemned.

Meanwhile, he was going from one medium and tem-

ple to another searching for spiritual experiences,

blessings and good luck.

In 1999, Bernard suffered kidney problems and need-

ed dialysis. He was very depressed as kidney prob-

lems ran in his family. In fact, his 3rd brother & 1st

sister passed away with kidney problems. So, I ad-

vised him to go to church. But at the church we went

to, we heard the speaker condemn all who went to

other gods. That made him feel worse.

As we operated our hair salon, some of our clients

who were Christians reached out to us and they didn't

make us feel condemned. Instead they listened to us,

as much as we probed them with difficult questions.

One of them is our regular client, Benjamin. For years,

Ben and his wife, Audrey, kept sharing their faith with

us.

Earlier this year I told her about my health problems,

as my lower back and ankle had started to give me

pain. She offered to pray for me. I felt better after her

prayer and I knew that God was answering my pray-

ers. When I told Bernard about it. He was sceptical.

Around that time, another regular client, Rosalind Lee,

a member of BFEC, invited me to visit her church.

On Sunday 5 February, I came to the 8am service. On

hearing the hymn, Amazing Grace for the first time, I

started to tear. I couldn't explain why.

I came again the following weeks, and whenever the

hymns or songs were sung, tears started rolling down

my cheeks. I was touched by the message in the

songs. God was working in my life!

All this while, Bernard stayed away from church. He

told me, "I’ll give you 3 months and it'll be over."

When I heard that baptism classes were starting,

I was torn. How can I get baptised if my husband

doesn't believe? However, by faith, I decided to sign

up. At the first lesson on 5 March - half the time I was

listening to the lesson and appreciating it but the other

half of me was troubled. I prayed, "How, like that,

God? Please reach out to my husband. Only you can!"

When I reached home after church, I was shocked

beyond words! Bernard had removed the many idols

in our home. The next big shock was when he told me

he had made a decision to follow Jesus and had

prayed to ask Jesus into his life. Wow! I could see he

had a complete change of heart! God indeed an-

swered my prayer so quickly by touching my hus-

band's heart! And what's more, he said he too wanted

to be baptised! So, the following Sunday on 12 March,

he came to BFEC and joined me for lesson 2! Hallelu-

jah! My prayer was answered and I was so happy!

Later that week, Elders Alex and Danny came to our

house and salon to do spiritual cleansing and prayers.

The Lord gave me another assurance that He is

pleased I'm giving my life to him through the waters of

baptism.

I'm the oldest girl in my family though I have an older

brother. My siblings are not Christians yet. Though I

am old enough to decide, yet deep down I wanted

them to know about my baptism without them being

upset with me. I went back to God in prayer, "How ah,

God? How do I break the news to them?"

Soon after, my 3rd sister Lu called me to meet for

lunch. This is very unusual. I knew God was working.

When we met, I said, "I need to tell you something. I

hope you won't get upset. But I wanted you to hear it

first. I've decided to be a Christian and I'm getting

baptised." Before I could finish, my sister asked me,

"Are you happy?" “Of course,” I told her, "I'm very

happy". Then she said, "In that case, I and our siblings

will be happy for you too." Indeed, we received bless-

ings from all my siblings! I knew this was all God's

favour in arranging this and preparing her heart.

This morning I'm so happy to be baptised together

with my husband, Bernard. We are both very grateful

for Rosalind Lee, as well as Audrey and Ben, whom

we've asked to accompany us into the water to share

our joy.

Thank you, God. And thank you all for sharing our joy.
